What (Sub) is unfolding (Present Continuous) in Venezuela (Obj) is (Present Simple) naked (Adj) imperialism (Obj). Having ordered (Present Participle) the abduction (Obj) of a sitting (Adj) head (Obj) of state (Obj) and imposed (Present Participle) a naval (Adj) blockade (Obj) on a sovereign (Adj) nation (Obj), U.S. President Donald Trump (Sub) declared (Past Simple) that Washington (Sub) would now (Adv) “run” (Modal Verb) Venezuela (Obj).
सारांश: वेनेजुएला की स्थिति खुलेआम साम्राज्यवाद का प्रतिनिधित्व करती है। एक राष्ट्र प्रमुख के अपहरण का आदेश देने और नौसैनिक नाकाबंदी लगाने के बाद, ट्रम्प ने घोषणा की कि अमेरिका अब वेनेजुएला पर नियंत्रण करेगा।
That he (Sub) endorsed (Past Simple) Acting (Adj) President Delcy Rodriguez (Obj) rather than the opposition (Obj) does not diminish (Present Simple) the criminality (Obj) of these actions (Obj); it (Sub) merely (Adv) reveals (Present Simple) their purpose (Obj), which (Sub) was (Past Simple) not (Adv) about democracy (Obj) or narcotics (Obj) but about control (Obj) of Venezuela’s oil (Obj).
सारांश: विपक्ष पर कार्यवाहक राष्ट्रपति का समर्थन करना इन कार्यों की अवैधता को कम नहीं करता; यह केवल उनके वास्तविक उद्देश्य को दर्शाता है जो लोकतंत्र को बढ़ावा देना या ड्रग्स से लड़ना नहीं, बल्कि वेनेजुएला के तेल पर नियंत्रण करना है।
The Trump administration’s approach (Sub) might appear (Modal Verb) contradictory (Adj): help (Base Form) retain (Infinitive) the Bolivarian (Adj) regime (Obj) while strangling (Present Participle) its economic (Adj) sovereignty (Obj). But the logic (Sub) is (Present Simple) coherent (Adj).
सारांश: अमेरिकी रणनीति वेनेजुएलाई शासन को सत्ता में बनाए रखते हुए उसकी आर्थिक स्वतंत्रता को कुचलने में विरोधाभासी लगती है। हालांकि, इसका अंतर्निहित तर्क सुसंगत है।
Washington (Sub) wants (Present Simple) Venezuela’s oil (Obj) without the costs (Obj) of occupation (Obj) or the chaos (Obj) of regime (Adj) change (Obj). It (Sub) learned (Past Simple) from Iraq (Obj) that dismantling (Gerund) state (Adj) structures (Obj) creates (Present Simple) insurgencies (Obj). It (Sub) believes (Present Simple) that it (Sub) is (Present Simple) better (Adj) to capture (Infinitive) the existing (Adj) apparatus (Obj) and redirect (Infinitive) its functions (Obj) — a form (Obj) of neocolonialism (Obj) that (Sub) maintains (Present Simple) the forms (Obj) of statehood (Obj) while exercising (Present Participle) actual (Adj) control (Obj).
सारांश: अमेरिका वेनेजुएला के तेल को कब्जे की लागत या शासन परिवर्तन की अराजकता के बिना चाहता है, इराक से यह सीखते हुए कि राज्य संरचनाओं को नष्ट करने से विद्रोह पैदा होता है। यह मौजूदा राज्य तंत्र को कब्जाना और पुनर्निर्देशित करना पसंद करता है—एक नव-उपनिवेशवादी मॉडल जो वास्तविक नियंत्रण का प्रयोग करते हुए संप्रभुता का दिखावा बनाए रखता है।
This arrangement (Sub) places (Present Simple) Ms. Rodriguez (Obj) in a difficult (Adj) position (Obj). The Bolivarian (Adj) movement (Sub) was built (Past Simple Passive) on resisting (Gerund) precisely (Adv) this kind (Obj) of American (Adj) domination (Obj) over Venezuela’s resources (Obj). Yet her government (Sub), battered (Past Participle) by a decade (Obj) of sanctions (Obj), must now (Adv) negotiate (Base Form) with the very (Adj) power (Obj) that (Sub) kidnapped (Past Simple) her predecessor (Obj).
सारांश: यह रॉड्रिगेज को मुश्किल स्थिति में डालता है। उनकी राजनीतिक आंदोलन वेनेजुएला के संसाधनों पर अमेरिकी नियंत्रण का विरोध करने पर स्थापित की गई थी, लेकिन उनकी प्रतिबंधों से कमजोर सरकार को अब उसी शक्ति के साथ बातचीत करनी होगी जिसने उनके पूर्ववर्ती का अपहरण किया था।
Her statement (Sub) on Sunday (Obj), “Enough already of Washington’s orders over politicians in Venezuela” (Obj), reveals (Present Simple) the strain (Obj) that (Sub) she (Sub) is (Present Simple) under (Adv). She (Sub) has complied (Present Perfect) with American (Adj) demands (Obj) on oil trade (Obj) and released (Present Perfect) political (Adj) prisoners (Obj) as a “peace (Adj) gesture” (Obj). But she (Sub) cannot surrender (Modal Verb) Venezuelan (Adj) sovereignty (Obj) entirely (Adv) without losing (Gerund) the Chavista base (Obj) that (Sub) sustains (Present Simple) her government (Obj).
सारांश: उनका बयान उस दबाव को दर्शाता है जिसका वह सामना कर रही हैं। जबकि उन्होंने तेल पर अमेरिकी मांगों को पूरा किया है और शुभेच्छा के संकेत के रूप में कैदियों को रिहा किया है, वह अपने मूल राजनीतिक समर्थन को खोए बिना पूरी तरह से संप्रभुता को आत्मसमर्पण नहीं कर सकतीं।
The more pressure (Sub) Washington (Sub) applies (Present Simple) on Caracas (Obj), the more it (Sub) risks (Present Simple) the very (Adj) instability (Obj) it (Sub) claims (Present Simple) to want (Infinitive) to prevent (Infinitive). If the U.S. (Sub) wanted (Past Simple) a productive (Adj) economic (Adj) relationship (Obj) with Venezuela (Obj), it (Sub) should not have embarked (Present Perfect) on this marauding (Adj) path (Obj).
सारांश: बढ़ा हुआ अमेरिकी दबाव उसी अस्थिरता को पैदा करने का जोखिम उठाता है जिसे रोकने का वह दावा करता है। यदि अमेरिका वास्तव में वेनेजुएला के साथ एक सकारात्मक आर्थिक साझेदारी चाहता था, तो उसे इस आक्रामक, शिकारी दृष्टिकोण को नहीं चुनना चाहिए था।
The sanctions (Sub) that (Sub) devastated (Past Simple) Venezuela’s economy (Obj) were (Past Simple) American (Adj) policy (Obj). The migration (Adj) crisis (Sub) that (Obj) Mr. Trump (Sub) cited (Past Simple) to justify (Infinitive) intervention (Obj) was (Past Simple) a consequence (Obj) of those (Adj) sanctions (Obj). Now, Washington (Sub) offers (Present Simple) to ease (Infinitive) the pressure (Obj) it (Sub) created (Past Simple), but only (Adv) if Venezuela (Sub) submits (Present Simple) to exclusive (Adj) American (Adj) control (Obj) over its resources (Obj).
सारांश: अमेरिकी प्रतिबंधों ने वेनेजुएला की आर्थिक तबाही का कारण बना। हस्तक्षेप को सही ठहराने के लिए ट्रम्प द्वारा इस्तेमाल किया गया प्रवासन संकट उन प्रतिबंधों का परिणाम था। अब, अमेरिका उस दबाव को कम करने की पेशकश करता है जो उसने खुद बनाया, लेकिन केवल अगर वेनेजुएला अपने संसाधनों पर विशेष अमेरिकी नियंत्रण को स्वीकार करता है।
This (Sub) is (Present Simple) not (Adv) diplomacy (Obj); it (Sub) is (Present Simple) extortion (Obj). The world (Sub) cannot remain (Modal Verb) silent (Adj).
सारांश: यह कूटनीति नहीं है; यह जबरन वसूली है। अंतरराष्ट्रीय समुदाय को प्रतिक्रिया में चुप नहीं रहना चाहिए।
When Russia (Sub) violated (Past Simple) Ukrainian (Adj) sovereignty (Obj), the international (Adj) community (Sub) condemned (Past Simple) it (Obj) and imposed (Past Simple) sanctions (Obj). Mr. Trump’s ‘Donroe Doctrine’ (Sub) threatens (Present Simple) not just (Adv) Venezuela (Obj), but the foundations (Obj) of the international (Adj) order (Obj). If it (Sub) remains (Present Simple) unchallenged (Adj) internationally (Adv), no nation (Sub) in the Global South (Obj) can be (Modal Verb) safe (Adj).
सारांश: जब रूस ने यूक्रेन की संप्रभुता का उल्लंघन किया, तो दुनिया ने इसकी निंदा की और प्रतिबंध लगाए। ट्रम्प का ‘डॉनरो सिद्धांत’ न केवल वेनेजुएला बल्कि पूरे अंतरराष्ट्रीय व्यवस्था को खतरे में डालता है। यदि चुनौती नहीं दी गई, तो कोई भी वैश्विक दक्षिण राष्ट्र सुरक्षित नहीं रहेगा।
